What makes us float?
We float or there is a possibility you can sink. You sink when you are heaver than the mass of the water. You float when you are lighter than the mass of the water.
Can an object with the volume of 77 grams and a mass of 65 grams float or sink?
It will float.
Will a mass of 4.2 grams that displaces 1.6 milliliters of water sink or float?
Float
Why does some objects sink and some float?
It is to do with to volume and mass.
Independent variable on float or sink experement?
The independent variable in a float or sink experiment would typically be the object's density or mass, which can be manipulated and varied by the researcher. By changing the density or mass of the object being tested, you can observe how it influences whether the object will float or sink in a liquid.
How do objects sink or float?
Objects sink or float depending on their Mass and density. If the object has a Density LOWER than water, it will float. Higher than water will sink. You can find density by multiplying its Mass times its Volume, there you have its density. Water has a Density of 1, things with lower may sink, only slightly if there isn't much difference.
What relates an object's mass and volume and determines whether an object will sink or float?
The object's density relates its mass and volume, determined by dividing mass by volume. If an object's density is greater than that of the fluid it is placed in, it will sink; if less, it will float.
How can you predict whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?
You can predict whether an object will float or sink in a fluid by comparing the object's density to the density of the fluid. If the object's density is greater than the fluid's density, it will sink. If the object's density is less than the fluid's density, it will float.
What makes certain substances float and others sink?
Substances with a density (mass per unit volume) greaterthan a liquid will sink in the liquid; if the object has a lower density it will float.
Can you use mass or volume alone to predict if an object will sink or float?
No, you need to consider both the mass and volume of an object in order to predict if it will sink or float. Whether an object sinks or floats depends on its density, which is determined by dividing the mass by the volume. Objects with density greater than the density of water will sink, while objects with density less than the density of water will float.
Is mass what makes things float or sink in water?
The density of an object compared to the density of water determines whether it will float or sink. An object with a higher density than water will sink, while an object with a lower density will float. Mass does play a role in determining density but is not the sole factor in whether something floats or sinks.
Will kilogram float in water why?
The mass of an object alone is not enough to determine whether it will float in water. You need to know the object's mass and its volume; in other words, its density. A kilogram of solid lead will sink in water. A kilogram of styrofoam will float. If an object is less dense than water it will float; if it is denser it will sink.
